Tippecanoe

The original course at Tippecanoe Country Club was developed by Joseph Roseman, however most people now recognize it as the work of Pete Dye (almost) original. While the name of the course is printed upon the marquee of his course, Dye's overhaul in 1961 of Tippacanoe wasn't as well-known when it was first introduced, because it was the first golf course with 18 holes that he designed. This historic monument is component of the Pete Dye Golf Trail, which means that anyone has access to tee times, regardless of the country club character of the course.

Dye was sure to be famous for the way he used water in his final few holes in his career, however Dye utilized the waterfront property initially at Tippecanoe in the form of nos. 1, 2 and 3 start right alongside on the Tippecanoe river (boating members are able to call ahead and receive food to their boat). The course heads towards the towards the inland side, adopting a more conservative approach as opposed to the Dye of later times.

However, there are indications right from the beginning that Pete was a bit wilder Pete was pulling the leash. Think about the hole. 10, which is to be a driveable distance of 265 yards, however, the green is situated over a pointy hill which is close to forming the par-4 version of the Donald Ross-inspired "volcano" hole.
